THE NEW NATURE LIBRARY 
HAS JUST BEEN COMPLETED IN FIFTEEN LARGE VOLUMES 
| 6000 pages, 430 plates in color, nearly 4000 half-tones, most of them from life, and 2590 other illustrations, in 
all, 7000 pictures of Animals, Birds, Fish, Butterflies, Moths, Insects, Wild Flowers, Trees, Reptiles, Shells, etc. 
HE last volume, “Shells,’’ is ready for shipment, so that incomplete sets may now be filled. To 
produce the “Nature Library” has taken ten years of careful and painstaking endeavor and this is 
the most important book enterprise in which we have engaged. Many manuscripts submitted have 
been rejected as not being up to the standard of excellence established. Throughout we have insisted 
that the information should be accurate and scientific and at the same time presented in an interesting 
and “‘live’’? way. As completed, this work is 
THE ONLY SATISFACTORY AMERICAN NATURAL HISTORY 
John Burroughs in the General Introduction writes: “While accurate and scientific, I have found them (the volumes) very readable. 
= ~ The treatment is popular without being sensational. This library is free 
g Ty 
from the scientific dry rot on the one hand and from the florid and misleading romanticism of much recent nature writing on the other. It isa 
safe guide to the world of animal and piant life that lies about us.”’
